Sir Al’s e-books

-

The Motorcycle Files – range of Kindle e-books written by Alan Cathcart – has expanded to 24 titles. Thanks to online digital publishing, these can be accessed and downloaded by anyone wishing to build their own library of fully illustrate­d hands-on informatio­n about their favourite bikes. Alan’s tests of racing and road bikes include some of the rarest and most significan­t racing motorcycle­s and exotic streetbike­s ever built, ranging from the prototype 1963 Ducati Apollo V4 1260, the 1939 supercharg­ed AJS 500cc V4 to the four-cylinder 500GP two-strokes from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki that lined up on GP grids during the 1980s and ‘90s. In the case of the Honda NSR500, the File covers the entire run of models from 1984 to 2002 of the most successful 500cc racer in Grand Prix history, and is a special extended issue equal to 136 A5 pages. The Motorcycle Files individual titles can be downloaded as e-books from Amazon or its Kindle store for viewing on all versions of the Kindle digital reader. Additional­ly, by using the free Kindle app, they can also be read on similar devices including iPads and other tablets, laptops and even iPhones.
